The Deion Sanders-led Colorado Buffaloes will be facing the No. 16 Oregon State Beavers at Folsom Field on Sunday, Nov. 5. However, if we take the video shared by Deion Sanders Jr. at the Buffaloes' home ground, then it's only fit for a skiing competition rather than a football match.
Deion Sanders Jr. took to his Instagram to share a snow-covered Folsom Field, which will be hosting the Beavers over the weekend. Filled with white snow on a rare Monday morning, the video shows the football field with inches of snow over it. Recording the video, Sanders Jr. said,
"Nothing beautiful that these Colorado streets."
The video then shows a man entering the snowy field from the far side of the stadium. Referring to him, Deion Sanders Jr. said,
"That man's crazy."
